“Sometimes, it takes a little time to appreciate a place fully. This one's near Kyoto's main station and within walking distance of Nishiki Market, so the location is undeniably practical. The facilities are simple, it's true, but clean and traditionally Japanese; think yukata robes and tatami mats underfoot. It grew on me, and I think it might on you.”
